Field Report- 20th October - Dublin (Temple Bar)
We decided that we would have one pint each.
The cold November nights have a Christmassy feel to them so a pint of Guinness went down nice. At the bar, i opened a 2 set - Spanish girls. Asked them who
gets served quicker at bars Men or Women? She didn't really understand, maybe due to the noise or her English but i didn't dwell on it. Asked her where
is she from, she said Spain. High 5 and held her hand which she complied to.
The next set was open by my wingman - the lounge girl collecting glasses. He said "that is great way to chat me up. Pretending you work here. Where did you get
that shirt" (work shirt). She laughed, said she got it for €5 and walked off.
There was a group of girls walking past. I stepped in front of them and said "Password". She responded by saying "Your gay". "Incorrect, try again". Then she
said "your cool". "Correct". Seeds planted. Kept it in mind to re-open as i warm up.
The girls then walked past us a few times. They went to the bar and where looking over - IOIs?. I walked to the bar to get a drink and opened them with "Are
you guys shy? (we where wondering when you where going to come over and say Hello). They were doing tequilla and salt. She said "the salt is shy" and they
walked away. Okay, fair enough.
The girls walked past us a few times again but i didn't bother re-opening them. A group of blonde haired girls walked past. I touched one on the arm and said
"Swedish?". They were from England. We chatted back and forth for ages. I didn't use any routines. Just banter. Push pulling. Lots of kino - high 5's,
Hugs, lots of touching. They were all interested and engaged in the conversation.
They mentioned the Inbetweeners and we said that they were the female version. One girl was quite loud, we called her Jay. The other had a soft accent and an
innocent look, we called her Will, the other girl was shy, didn't speak much at all, she was Simon. They loved it.
Everything was going great. We were talking about bouncing to another venue. They said they wanted to go somewhere that Irish people go and move away from
the tourist spots. We said we would take them to a nightclub. My target was the loud girl. The other girls just seemed too nice for me
Anyway, here is where it all went wrong. My wingman takes cocky funny to the extreme - forgets to include the funny part. He talks about how he helps people
increase their confidence (which he doesn't) told the shy girl that he could cure her. She asks "How?". "Drama". "I hate drama". "Drama is fucking cool man"
"I was like you when i was your age - look at me now!".
This stuff is going to his head. "Look at how everyone is silent when i speak." "You guys are hanging onto every word i say" "Look (he points to each of the girls
eyes - eye contact, eye contact, eye contact." He points to one of the girls "look she is mirroring my body language because she wants me"
Openly, he says to the three girls "i could take this girl home with me tonight if i wanted to". He kept going talking about how he is such a player now.
Has his own fuck pad etc.
At this stage, I've zoned out of the conversation. At one stage, he was talking over what i was saying. I am sure it came across like we were two giddy
school kids who don't get the opportunity to talk to girls that often. The girls decide its time for them to go to the bar and get drinks. My wingman says
"I totally have them girls hooked".
How do you guys think the night unfolded? They never came back. I tried to re-open them later on, and they were cold. Just walked away. In light of all this it got me thinking about the importance of having a solid wingman and someone who is on the same wavelength as you, not trying to out game you and someone who is down to earth. I'm curious to know what you guys think, if you have similar experiences etc?
